iPhone keyboard keeps typing periods instead of spaces

Like many others, I am always typing a period instead of a space because the #%* period key is right where my thumb should be hitting the space bar. Apple, let us move or remove the period position! The only solution I have found is to set the keyboard to one-handed:right. But that shrinks the whole keyboard. Funny how the keyboard for this discussion entry does not have the period key!

It's so frustrating you see my google searches, they literally have a "." after every single word. I don't understand either because the only app that has that problem is Safari for me. The keyboards for messages, social media, notes I mean every other app accept Safari all have a normal keyboard, like the one we are using to type on right now. PS they're just gonna respond with a link and send you to go read an article every time there's an update. I come on here scene if they have fixed this problem and they don't so nobody from Apple reads these questions. Happy holidays.
